The exhibition consists of works by five artists including Kim Shin Young, Song Jae Ho, Lee Moon Joo, Choi Ja Woon, and Hwang Yun Jeong. In their artworks those artists subjectively address landscapes, indoor scenes, and figures encapsulating their own personal feelings, depicting thought and time they had in real life. Song Jae Ho expresses what he felt while listening to music, seeing films, and reading poems in sensuous colors, brush marks, and broad space, leaving inspiring lingering behind. Through his painting the artist exudes much more abundant emotion than what he imagines. Hwang Yun Jeong raises a question over whether actual being exists behind a visible phenomenon, representing her subjective gaze at the world on a canvas with all her senses. The world of a painting is not real but it is an extremely liberal, individual space where artists spread their imagination to the full. After undergoing Korea's urban space and dwelling culture, the U.S.-educated Lee Moon Joo takes her motifs from construction waste in an urban area. While featuring city development plans for added value and social absurdity, Lee's work represents her humble yet earnest personal wish. Eerie indoor scenes in Choi Ja Woon's work are evidence for all delightful and sorrowful incidents in life. Choi's paintings are often empty of people in a weird, disquieting atmosphere, but experience and memory within it suggest the existence of people. Kim Shin Young expresses the moment she was moved and intense impressions she felt in images. The artist rearranges and reassembles those images on a canvas, recalling instant feelings and memories at that time. She brings about another personal story by abbreviating, remaining, or rearranging form.

The exhibition offers a good chance to shed light on ways of rising artists' approaches to the world through painting. In the age of postmodernism, some critics announced the death of painting but it was still considered a significant filed of experimentation. The I M ART & ARTIST I exhibition invites viewers to the world of new narratives in which each participating artist shows a constant concern with extremely personal feelings and everyday life.
